Comments Thread For: Gary Russell On Being Avoided by Top Fighters: Fans, Media Need To Just Hold These Guys Accountable

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Gary Russell Jr. gave up long ago on rationalizing why the other top featherweights refuse to get in the ring with him. The long-reigning featherweight titlist would like to see someone else run with that baton.

I don't get it either. Is Lomachenko the one and only big name in this guy's resume?

If Russell wins hopefully he gets Santa Cruz or Gutierrez-Colbert winner.

gary is delusional as always. abnes mares, carl frampton and nicholas walters are retired. nonito donaire is fighting at bantamweight. josh warrington lost everything. leo santa cruz went after the bigger fish. who exactly is ducking gary? nobody. he is ducking everybody but his mandatory by not fighting.

Repeatedly called out Davis…but Davis has and will continue to fight b-level light hitting Hispanic fighters(Barrios/Cruz)or past it light-hitting Hispanic fighters with a name(Gamboa/Lsc)Its the Pbc formula.

He needs to ask his promoter and ....what is it they call Haymon? Advisor? Russell Jr had several options that never materialized. Maybe it's time to start questioning his representation.

This is one dumb post. All of those fighters might be in their respective situations now but not at the time Russell called them out. I agree that Russell not fighting very often doesn’t help his cause but that doesn’t change the fact that none of those fighters wanted any part of fighting him. Especially Santa Cruz.

Media needs to hold Russell accountable in fighting every two years. I even forgot Russell was fighting, it must be close to groundhog day for the rodent to come out of hibernation.....

you keep ducking me I swear i'll sit out another year

[Knuckle sandwich]

Russell's credibility sucks, he never fights and still expects boxing fans to find him relevant
